I see this thread is very old, and I'm wondering if there have been any changes about automatically initiating a dial-up connection. I know that Windows can be configured to automatically connect if a connection is not present, but that can be a problem with all these programs trying to connect on their own nowadays (whether or not I want them to) and hogging precious bandwidth. Is it possible for this program to initiate a dial up connection to upload to FTP or send an e-mail, and as important, hang up the connection when it's done *if it initiated it*?
